I am delighted the Senator has asked the question. Last night, I read the press release that the Climate Change Advisory Council issued. I had it in my hand and I thought that it was a disgrace because it is wrong, it is inaccurate and it is misleading. I have told others this already but I am going to say it again. What they actually did in that statement was they repeated - I do not want to use the word “lie” so I will use the word “inaccuracies”. They said that I said things that I never said, but they think that by repeating what somebody else was wrong in saying in the first instance, it was going to be all right for them to say it. They were wrong.
